TECHNICAL FIELD

BACKGROUND

A display substrate generally comprises a plurality of pixel units arranged in an array in a display region of a base substrate, a power line (generally referred to as a VDD line) for providing a positive power signal to each of the pixel units, and a power line (generally referred to as a VSS line) for providing a negative power signal to a cathode layer in the display substrate. In a case that the power line enters an encapsulation region from a side of a driver chip, for example, in a case that the power line enters a region provided on a side, close to the pixel units, of a dam structure from a bonding region, that is, at a place close to a portion (line inlet port), where the power line passes through, of the dam structure, there is a risk of introducing water and oxygen, and the encapsulation performance needs to be improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to make objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present disclosure more clear, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in a clearly and fully understandable way in connection with the related drawings.

In related technologies, in order to reduce the risk of water and oxygen erosion brought by power lines entering an encapsulation region from an outside of the encapsulation region, the total number of the power lines entering the encapsulation region is usually reduced; in this way, in order to further ensure the electrical signal transmission of the power lines, for example, to ensure the electrical connection between a cathode VSS line and a cathode, one end of the VSS line needs to be connected with the cathode layer by an auxiliary connection structure located in the encapsulation region of the base substrate after the one end of the VSS line enters the encapsulation region, for example, enters a dam structure (a blocking structure). However, the inventors found that if the auxiliary connection structure such as a conductive metal structure is directly added, although a connection effect between the cathode and the cathode power line is improved, a side surface of the auxiliary connection structure easily has etching defects, which also increases the risk of water and oxygen erosion near the line inlet port.

FIG. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a display substrate provided by embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of the display substrate shown in FIG. 1 taken along a BB line. The display substrate is a flexible panel, for example, a foldable panel. Combining FIG. 1 with FIG. 2, the display substrate comprises: a base substrate 001, a plurality of pixel units 002, at least one first power line 003, a blocking structure 004, an auxiliary connection structure 005, a cathode layer 006, and a first organic pattern 007. The plurality of pixel units 002 are located on the base substrate 001. For example, one first power line 003 is shown in FIG. 1.

The at least one first power line 003 is located on the base substrate 001. The blocking structure (i.e. dam structure) 004 for example surrounds the plurality of pixel units 002. The auxiliary connection structure 005 comprises a first side surface 005 a and a second side surface 005 b which are opposite to each other, the first side surface 005 a is closer to the plurality of pixel units 002 than the second side surface 005 b is. The cathode layer 006 is located on a side of the auxiliary connection structure 005 away from the base substrate 001. The first organic pattern 007 for example is located on the side of the auxiliary connection structure 005 away from the base substrate 001.

With reference to FIG. 1, the at least one first power line 003 comprises a first portion 0031 and a second portion 0032, the first portion 0031 is located on a side of the blocking structure 004 away from the plurality of pixel units 002, and the first portion 0031 is configured for receiving a power signal. For example, the first portion 0031 is connected with a driver chip to receive the power signal provided by the driver chip. The second portion 0032 is connected with the cathode layer 006 by the auxiliary connection structure 005.

FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of a local structure of the display substrate shown in FIG. 1. With reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3, the second portion 0032 has a first connection position 0032 a and a second connection position 0032 b, the second portion 0032 is connected with the auxiliary connection structure 005 at both the first connection position 0032 a and the second connection position 0032 b, and a distance between the first connection position 0032 a and the blocking structure 004 is larger than a distance between the second connection position 0032 b and the blocking structure 004. That is to say, the first connection position 0032 a of the second portion 0032 of the at least one first power line 003 is not in contact with the blocking structure 004. For example, an orthographic projection of the first connection position 0032 a on the base substrate 001 does not overlap with an orthographic projection of the blocking structure 004 on the base substrate 001. The second connection position 0032 b is located in a region covered by the blocking structure 004, for example, the second connection position 0032 b is in contact with the blocking structure 004. In order to clearly illustrate a position relationship between the first power line 003 and the auxiliary connection structure 005, the cathode layer 006 is not shown in FIG. 1.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, by arranging the distance between the first connection position 0032 a which is closer to the first portion 0031 and the blocking structure 004 to be larger, the water vapor introduced from the first portion 0031 of the first power line 003 into the plurality of pixel units 002 through a hydrophilic material in the blocking structure 004 is reduced, which ensures the yield of the display substrate.

Moreover, the second connection position 0032 b is farther away from the first portion 0031 than the first connection position 0032 a is and a path of introducing water vapor is long; and thus, even if the distance between the second connection position 0032 b and the blocking structure 004 is arranged to be smaller, the water vapor from the first portion 0031 of the first power line 003 is not introduced into the plurality of pixel units 002 at the second connection position 0032 b. Moreover, if the distance between the second connection position 0032 b and the blocking structure 004 is arranged to be smaller, the region of the base substrate 001 occupied by the auxiliary connection structure 005 and the blocking structure 004 is reduced, so as to facilitate the realization of a narrow frame display substrate.

Each of the first connection position 0032 a and the second connection position 0032 b refers to: a part, that is in contact with the auxiliary connection structure 005, of the second portion 0032 of the first power line 003; in the embodiments of the present disclosure, each of the first connection position 0032 a and the second connection position 0032 b for example refers to: a part, that is in direct contact with the auxiliary connection structure 005, of the second portion 0032. The shape of the two connection positions is approximately the same as the shape of an overlapping region of the orthographic projection of the second portion 0032 on the base substrate 001 and the orthographic projection of the auxiliary connection structure 005 on the base substrate 001.

In summary, the embodiments of the present disclosure provide the display substrate, and the display substrate comprises the base substrate, the plurality of pixel units, the at least one first power line, the blocking structure, the auxiliary connection structure, the cathode layer, and the first organic pattern. By arranging the distance between the first connection position closer to the first portion of the at least one first power line and the blocking structure to be larger, the water vapor introduced from the first portion of the first power line into the plurality of pixel units through the hydrophilic material in the blocking structure is reduced, which ensures the yield of the display substrate, and thus the display effect of the display substrate is guaranteed.

Optionally, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the display substrate further comprises a bonding region 00 a, the bonding region 00 a is located on the side of the blocking structure 004 away from the plurality of pixel units 002, and the first connection position 0032 a is closer to the bonding region 00 b than the second connection position 0032 b is. By the sentence that the first connection position 0032 a is closer to the bonding region 00 b than the second connection position 0032 b is, it refers to that: a minimum value of the distances between respective portions of the first connection position 0032 a and the bonding region 00 b is greater than a minimum value of the distances between respective portions of the second connection position 0032 a and the bonding region 00 b.

It should be noted that, in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the region of the orthographic projection of the plurality of pixel units 002 on the base substrate 001 is an effective active area (AA) of the display substrate. Therefore, the blocking structure 004 for example surrounds the AA region. The cathode layer 006 for example covers a whole of the AA region.

Optionally, in at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, an orthographic projection of the cathode layer 006 on the base substrate 001 covers the orthographic projection of the plurality of pixel units 002 on the base substrate 001, and the orthographic projection of the cathode layer 006 on the base substrate 001 is located in the orthographic projection of the region enclosed by the blocking structure 004 on the base substrate 001.

FIG. 4 is another structural schematic diagram of the display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of a local structure of the display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. With reference to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, an orthographic projection of the auxiliary connection structure 005 on the base substrate 001 comprises a first projection region 005 c and a second projection region 005 d. Combining with FIG. 1, the first projection region 005 c is closer to the first portion 0031 than the second projection region 005 d is. The first projection region 005 c does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the blocking structure 004 on the base substrate 001, and the second projection region 005 d overlaps with the orthographic projection of the blocking structure 004 on the base substrate 001 to form a first overlapping region 00 b.

Because the organic material of the blocking structure 004 is the hydrophilic material, the first projection region 005 c of the orthographic projection of the auxiliary connection structure 005 on the base substrate 001 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the blocking structure 004 on the base substrate 001, it is possible to prevent the water vapor from the first portion 0031 from entering into the plurality of pixel units 002 through the hydrophilic material covering the auxiliary connection structure 005, which further ensures the display effect of the display substrate.

Optionally, a width of an overlapped portion, which is connected with the first power line 003 and overlaps with the first power line 003, of the auxiliary connection structure 005 is arranged to be relatively wider, so that a contact resistance between the auxiliary connection structure 005 and the first power line 003 is as small as possible. With reference to FIG. 5, the orthographic projection of the overlapped portion on the base substrate 001 is the overlapping region of the first projection region 005 c and the orthographic projection of the first power line 003 on the base substrate 001. The width of the portion of the auxiliary connection structure 005 away from the overlapped portion is arranged to be relatively narrow, and therefore, the influence of capacitive coupling on other signal lines provided on the side of the auxiliary connection structure 005 close to the substrate 001 is reduced, for example, the influence of the capacitive coupling on the data lines is reduced.

In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the second side surface 005 b of the auxiliary connection structure 005 is covered by the blocking structure 004. That is to say, the second side surface 005 b of the auxiliary connection structure 005 in the second projection region is covered by the blocking structure 004.

By covering the second side surface 005 b of the auxiliary connection structure 005 by the blocking structure 004, the region of the base substrate 001 occupied by the auxiliary connection structure 005 and the blocking structure 004 is reduced, so as to facilitate the realization of the narrow frame display substrate. Moreover, a distance between the second projection region 005 d of the auxiliary connection structure 005 and the first portion 0031 of the at least one first power line 003 is relatively larger, and the second projection region 005 d of the auxiliary connection structure 005 is away from the position of the first line inlet port 00 c, and thus the path of introducing water vapor is long; and therefore, even if the second side surface 005 b of the auxiliary connection structure 005 is covered by the blocking structure 004, water vapor does not enter the pixel units 002. With reference to FIG. 6, the portion through which the power line passes of the blocking structure 004 is called as the line inlet port, for example, the portion through which the first power line 003 passes is called as the first line inlet port 00 c.

With reference to FIG. 1 and FIG. 4, the auxiliary connection structure 005 for example has a ring structure surrounding the plurality of pixel units 002, which is convenient for the cathode layer 006 to be connected with the at least one first power line 003 by the auxiliary connection structure 005, and which guarantees the potential uniformity of the power signal provided for the plurality of pixel units 002 of the display substrate. Thus, the display effect is improved.

With reference to FIG. 1, the display substrate further comprises at least one second power line 008. One end 008 a of the at least one second power line 008 is located on the side of the blocking structure 004 away from the plurality of pixel units 002 to receive the power signal, and the other end 008 b of the at least one second power line 008 is located between the blocking structure 004 and the plurality of pixel units 002, and is connected with the cathode layer 006 by the auxiliary connection structure 005, so that the second power line 008 provides the power signal to the cathode layer 006.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, one end 008 a of each second power line 008 is located outside the region enclosed by the blocking structure 004, and the other end of each second power line 008 is located in the region enclosed by the blocking structure 004. That is, each second power line 008 passes through the blocking structure 004 to enter the region enclosed by the blocking structure 004. The portion through which the second power line 008 passes is referred to as a second line inlet port 00 d.

For example, two second power lines 008 are illustrated in FIG. 1 as an example, the one end 008 a of each of the second power lines 008 is connected with the driver chip to receive the power signal provided by the driver chip.

Combining FIG. 1 with FIG. 4, the first organic pattern 007 covers at least a portion of the second side surface 005 b of the auxiliary connection structure 005, an orthographic projection of the first organic pattern 007 on the base substrate 001 and an orthographic projection of the at least one second power line 008 on the base substrate 001 overlaps with each other to form a second overlapping region 00 e, and the second overlapping region 00 e does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the blocking structure 004 on the base substrate 001.

By covering at least a portion of the second side surface 005 b of the auxiliary connection structure 005 by the first organic pattern 007, the risk of the second side surface 005 b of the auxiliary connection structure 005 being corroded by water vapor or oxygen due to an etching defect is reduced, and it is ensured that the auxiliary connection structure 005 effectively transmits the power signal from the first power line 003. Moreover, the organic material of the first organic pattern 007 for example is the hydrophilic material; by arranging that the second overlapping region 00 e does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the blocking structure 004 on the base substrate, that is, the first organic pattern 007 being spaced apart from the blocking structure 004, the water vapor introduced from the end 008 a for receiving the power signal of the second power line 008 into the plurality of pixel units 002 through the blocking structure 004 and the first organic pattern 007 is reduced, which ensures the yield of the display substrate.

With reference to FIG. 1, the one end 008 a of the at least one second power line 008 is located in the middle of the side of the blocking structure 004 away from the plurality of pixel units 002. For example, the one end 008 a of the at least one second power line 008 is located in the middle of the bonding region 00 a.

The middle is a position where the longitudinal axis X of the base substrate passes through, and the longitudinal axis X is an axis parallel to the data line on the base substrate 001. A distance between the longitudinal axis X and one side of the display substrate is approximately equal to a distance between the longitudinal axis X and the other side of the display substrate. The one side and the other side are approximately parallel to an extension direction of the data line. For example, an included angle between any one of the two sides of the display substrate approximately parallel to the extension direction of the data line and the extension direction of the data line ranges from 0 degree to 10 degrees.

It should be noted that, “approximately” in the embodiments of the present disclosure refers to that an error range within 15% is allowed. If the distances are “approximately” equal to each other, then a difference between the two distances is no more than 15%. If the extension directions are “approximately” parallel to each other, then the included angle of the two extension directions is between 0 degree and 30 degrees, such as 0 degree to 10 degrees, 0 degree to 15 degrees and so on. If the shapes are “approximately” the same with each other, then the two shapes are of the same type, such as a rectangle, a polyline, an arc, a strip, an “L” type and so on. If the areas are “approximately” the same, then a difference between the two areas does not exceed 15%, etc.

For example, with reference to FIG. 1, the display substrate comprises two second power lines 008. The two second power lines 008 are arranged adjacent to each other in the middle of the side of the blocking structure 004 away from the plurality of pixel units 002. Optionally, the two second power lines 008 are arranged in the middle of the side of the blocking structure 004 away from the plurality of pixel units 002, and are spaced from each other to be symmetrical with each other with the longitudinal axis X of the base substrate as a symmetric axis. The arranging positions of the second power lines 008 are not limited in the embodiment of the present disclosure.

If the two second power lines 008 are arranged adjacent to each other in the middle of the side of the blocking structure 004 away from the plurality of pixel units 002, then the two second power lines 008 for example are of an integral structure.

Exemplarily, in a case that the two second power lines 008 are of the integral structure, that is, in a case that the number of the second power line 008 is one, the end 008 a of the second power line 008 is located in the middle of the blocking structure 004 away from the plurality of pixel units 002, for example, in the middle of the bonding region 00 a, so that a distance from the end 008 a of the second power line 008 to the longitudinal axis X is less than a distance from the end 008 a of the second power line 008 to any side of the two sides approximately parallel to the longitudinal axis X of the display substrate.

It should be noted that, in a case that the display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure is a foldable panel, a folding line of the foldable panel is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis X. For example, the folding line of the foldable panel is a vertical line of the longitudinal axis X and passes through a middle point of the longitudinal axis X.

In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first power line 003 comprises two first portions 0031. The two first portions 0031 are approximately arranged at the edge of the side of the blocking structure 004 away from the plurality of pixel units 002 and are symmetrically arranged with the longitudinal axis X of the base substrate 001 as the symmetrical axis.

In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first power line 003 comprises two first portions 0031. For example, the two first portions 0031 are located on two sides of the longitudinal axis X respectively, such as on two sides of the bonding region 00 a respectively.

In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first power line 003 comprises two first portions 0031. For example, the portions of the two first portions 0031 respectively near the first line inlet ports 00 c are respectively located on two sides of the display substrate, and are respectively close to the two sides parallel to the longitudinal axis X.

In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, both the second power line 008 in the middle and the first power line 003 at the edge provide the power signal to the cathode layer 006 in the display substrate at the same time, so as to further alleviate the problem that a potential difference of the power signal loaded on the cathode layer 006 in different regions is large due to voltage drop. A long range uniformity (LRU) of the cathode layer 006 is good, and the display effect is improved.

In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, both the second power line 008 in the middle and the first power line 003 at the edge provide the power signal to the cathode layer 006 in the display substrate. At the same time, even if the second power line 008 in the middle is added, the design of the second power line 008 in the embodiments of the present disclosure reduces the erosion of water and oxygen very well, which ensures a good encapsulation performance.

It should be noted that, more second power lines 008 for example are arranged for a large-sized display substrate. More second power lines 008 are provided to provide the power signal to the cathode layer 006 to ensure the uniformity of potential in respective regions of the cathode layer 006, and the display effect of the display substrate is improved.

It should also be noted that, in the embodiments of the present disclosure, because both the first power line 003 and the second power line 008 are used to provide the power signal to the cathode layer 006, both the first power line 003 and the second power line 008 are referred to as VSS power line or VSS wire.

In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 2 shows a sectional view of a portion of the first power line 003 entering the region surrounded by the blocking structure 004. A level structure of a portion of the second power line 008 entering the region surrounded by the blocking structure 004 is the same as that of the first power line 003. With reference to FIG. 2, an orthographic projection of the first organic pattern 007 on the base substrate 001 and an orthographic projection of the at least one second power line 008 on the base substrate 001 overlap with each other to form a second overlapping region 00 e, and a distance between the second overlapping region 00 e and the orthographic projection of the blocking structure 004 on the base substrate 001 is greater than a threshold distance. The threshold distance ranges from 80 microns to 150 microns, such as 90 μm, 100 μm, 110 μm, 120 μm, 130 μm, 140 μm and so on. That is to say, there is a certain distance between the second overlapping region 00 e and the blocking structure 004. Thus, it is possible to prevent the first organic pattern 007 from directly contacting with the blocking structure 004 near the second line inlet port 00 d of the second power line 008. Furthermore, it is possible to reduce the introduction of water vapor into the pixel units 002 through the first organic pattern 007, and the packaging effect is guaranteed. The threshold distance is a threshold value which is determined in advance through experiments to avoid water vapor entering the pixel units 002. That is, in a case that the distance between the second overlapping region 00 e and the blocking structure 004 is greater than the threshold distance, water vapor is difficult to enter the pixel units 002 of the display substrate.

The threshold distance is a threshold value which is determined in advance through experiments to avoid water vapor entering the pixel units 002. That is, in a case that the distance between the second overlapping region 00 e and the blocking structure 004 is greater than the threshold distance, water vapor does not enter the pixel units 002 of the display substrate.

With reference to FIG. 4, the display substrate further comprises a row driving region 00 f between the blocking structure 004 and the plurality of pixel units 002. A distance between the row driving region 00 f and the orthographic projection of the at least one second power line 008 on the base substrate 001 is larger than a distance between the row driving region 00 f and an orthographic projection of the at least one first power line 003 on the base substrate 001. For example, a distance between the at least one second power line 008 located in the middle and the row driving region 00 f is larger than a distance between the at least one first power line 003 and the row driving region 00 f In order to clearly illustrate the position relationship between the auxiliary connection structure 005 and the blocking structure, the first power line 003, the second power line 008 and the cathode layer 006 are not illustrated in FIG. 4.

Or it is understood that, a minimum value of the distances between respective portions of each second power line 008 and the row driving region 00 f is greater than a minimum value of the distances between respective portions of each first power line 003 and the row driving region 00 f For example, with reference to FIG. 6, the distance h1 between a point al of the at least one second power line 008 and the row driving region 00 f is greater than the distance h2 between a point bl of the at least one first power line 003 and the row driving region 00 f.

For example, the row driving region 00 f is provided with a plurality of cascaded shift register units, and the plurality of cascaded shift register units are used to drive the pixel units 002 in the rows.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, the display substrate has two row driving regions 00 f, which are respectively arranged on two sides of the plurality of pixel units 002 and are symmetrically arranged with the longitudinal axis X of the base substrate 001 as the symmetrical axis.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to FIG. 2, the display substrate further comprises a passivation layer 009, and the passivation layer 009 covers at least one first power line 003. FIG. 7 is another schematic diagram of a local structure of the display substrate provided by embodiments of the present disclosure. The passivation layer 009 is further provided with an opening 009 a, a portion of the auxiliary connection structure 005 close to the base substrate 001 is connected with the at least one first power line 003 by the opening 009 a, and another portion of the auxiliary connection structure 005 away from the base substrate 001 is connected with the cathode layer 006. The reference 009 a shown in FIG. 7 is the opening provided in the passivation layer 009. That is to say, in FIG. 7, except the region where the opening 009 a is provided, all other regions are covered by the passivation layer 009.

In the process of preparing the display substrate, the at least one first power line 003 is easy to be corroded by water vapor or oxygen; therefore, by providing the passivation layer 009 to cover the at least one first power line 003, it is ensured that the at least one first power line 003 is not corroded by water vapor or oxygen in the process of forming other layers in subsequent, and the at least one first power line 003 is guaranteed to provide the power signal to the cathode layer 006, so that the display effect of the display substrate is guaranteed.

Combining FIG. 1 with FIG. 7, the blocking structure 004 comprises a first blocking dam 0041 and a second blocking dam 0042. The first blocking dam 0041 is farther away from the plurality of pixel units 002 than the second blocking dam 0042 is, and a thickness of the first blocking dam 1041 is greater than a thickness of the second blocking dam 0042.

By arranging two blocking dams and the thickness of the first blocking dam 0041 away from the plurality of pixel units 002 is greater than the thickness of the second blocking dam 0042 close to the plurality of pixel units 002, the overflow of the organic layer in the region enclosed by the blocking structure 004 is further prevented. Of course, the blocking structure 004 may comprise one blocking dam or more than two blocking dams, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

As an optional implementation, FIG. 8 is still another structural schematic diagram of the display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. With reference to FIG. 8, the first blocking dam 0041 comprises: a first planarization layer pattern 010, a second planarization layer pattern 011, and a second organic pattern 012 arranged in a direction away from the base substrate 001. The second blocking dam 0042 comprises: a third planarization layer pattern 013 and a third organic pattern 014 arranged in the direction away from the base substrate.

For example, the second planarization layer pattern 011 and the third planarization layer pattern 013 are made of the same material by a same patterning process. The first organic pattern 007, the second organic pattern 012 and the third organic pattern 014 are made of the same material by a same patterning process.

For example, in the region shown in FIG. 7, except the region where the opening 015 a is provided, all other regions of the base substrate 001 are covered with the planarization layer pattern 015. It is seen from FIG. 7, the planarization layer pattern 015 covers the boundary of the portion of the first power line 003 located in the region surrounded by the blocking structure 004.

Combining FIG. 2 with FIG. 7, the orthographic projection of the at least one first power line 003 on the base substrate 001 and the first projection region 005 c overlap with each other to form an overlapping region, an overlapped region between the orthographic projection of the opening 009 a of the passivation layer 009 on the base substrate 001 and the overlapping region covers an overlapped region between the orthographic projection of the opening 015 a of the planarization layer pattern 015 on the base substrate 001 and the overlapping region. That is, in the overlapping region, the size of the opening 009 a of the passivation layer 009 is larger than the size of the opening 015 a of the planarization layer pattern 015.

With reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 8, the first blocking dam 0041 has one more planarization layer pattern than the second blocking dam 0042, so that the thickness of the first blocking dam 0041 is larger than the thickness of the second blocking dam 0042, which prevents the overflow of the organic layer.

FIG. 9 is still another structural schematic diagram of the display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

FIG. 10 is still another structural schematic diagram of the display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. With reference to FIG. 10, the first organic pattern 007 covers the second side surface 005 b of the auxiliary connection structure 005. With reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 4, FIG. 6 and FIG. 10, the first blocking dam 0041 is a first ring, and the second blocking dam 0042 is a second ring. The first organic pattern 007 and a portion of the third organic pattern 014 form a third ring, an orthographic projection of the third ring on the base substrate 001 is located inside an orthographic projection of the second ring on the base substrate 001, and the orthographic projection of the second ring on the base substrate 001 is located inside an orthographic projection of the first ring on the base substrate 001; and the third ring surrounds the plurality of pixel units 002. The third ring surrounds the plurality of pixel units 002. The shape of the third organic pattern 014 is approximately the same as that of the second blocking dam 0042, that is, the third organic pattern 014 is also a ring.

The portion of the third organic pattern 014 is a pattern in the third organic pattern 014 located on the side of the first organic pattern 007 close to the plurality of pixel units 002. For example, with reference to FIG. 10, the portion of the third organic pattern 014 is the left portion, the upper portion, and the right portion of the third organic pattern 014.

In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first organic pattern 007 comprises a portion in direct contact with the second blocking dam 0042. With reference to FIG. 1, FIG. 6 and FIG. 11, the first power line 003 comprises two first portions 0031 and one second portion 0032. The two first portions 0031 are respectively arranged on two sides of the base substrate 001 and are symmetrically arranged with the longitudinal axis X of the base substrate 001 as the symmetrical axis; for example, the portions of the two first portions 0031 respectively near the first line inlet ports 00C are respectively located on two sides of the display substrate, such as near the two sides of the display substrate parallel to the longitudinal axis X. FIG. 4 shows two first line inlet ports 00 c of the first portions 0031. The second portion 0032 surrounds the plurality of pixel units 002, and each of two ends of the second portion 0032 is connected with one first portion 0031.

In at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, the first portion 0031 is in direct contact with the second portion 0032, for example, the first portion 0031 and the second portion 0032 are of an integral structure.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the second portion 0032 comprises: a straight portion 0032 c and an arc-shaped portion 0032 d which together surround the region where the plurality of pixel units 002 are located.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the second portion 0032 comprises: the straight portion 0032 c and the arc-shaped portion 0032 d which together surround the region where the plurality of pixel units 002 are located. In addition, the second portion 0032 of the first power line 003 is an unclosed structure, and the embodiments of the present disclosure is described by taking the case that the second portion 0032 surrounds at least two sides of the display substrate as an example. An orthographic projection of the portion of the first organic pattern 007 in direct contact with the second blocking dam 0042 is in an orthographic projection of the arc-shaped portion 0032 d on the base substrate 001. That is to say, the orthographic projection of the portion of the first organic pattern 007 in direct contact with the second blocking dam 0042 on the base substrate 001 does not exceed the orthographic projection of arc-shaped portion 0032 d on the base substrate 001.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the arc-shaped portion 0032 d is closer to the first portion 0031 for receiving the power signal of the at least one first power line 003 than the straight portion 0032 c is.

As an optional implementation, with reference to FIG. 8, the at least one first power line 003 comprises: a first metal layer 003 a. The display substrate further comprises an auxiliary metal layer 018 located on the side of the first metal layer 003 a away from the base substrate.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the side of the auxiliary metal layer 018 away from the first metal layer 003 a is in contact with the auxiliary connection structure 005, and the orthographic projection of the auxiliary metal layer 018 on the base substrate 001 overlaps with the orthographic projection of the blocking structure 004 on the base substrate 001. For example, the orthographic projection of the auxiliary metal layer 018 on the base substrate 001 comprises a portion within the region surrounded by the orthographic projection of the blocking structure 004 on the base substrate 001.

FIG. 12 is still another schematic diagram of a local structure of the display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. With reference to FIG. 12, the orthographic projection of the auxiliary metal layer 018 on the base substrate 001 comprises a portion located in the orthographic projection of the second blocking dam 0042 on the base substrate 001.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the region where the blocking structure 004 is located, the side of the first metal layer 003 a away from the base substrate 001 is not provided with the auxiliary metal layer 018, that is, the auxiliary metal layer 018 in the region where the blocking structure 004 is located is removed, that is, the auxiliary metal layer 018 in the region where the first line inlet port 00 c is located is removed. For example, the auxiliary metal layer 018 is arranged on the side of the blocking structure 004 away from the plurality of pixel units 002, and the auxiliary metal layer 018 is arranged in the region surrounded by the blocking structure 004.

The shape of the boundary of the auxiliary metal layer 018 is approximately the same as that of the first metal layer 003 a, or the shape of the boundary of the auxiliary metal layer 018 is different from that of the first metal layer 003 a, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

The power signal received by the first metal layer 003 a is transmitted to the auxiliary connection structure 005 by the auxiliary metal layer 018 arranged in the opening of the passivation layer 009. The power signal is transmitted to the cathode layer 006 by the auxiliary connection structure 005.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, with reference to FIG. 8, on the side of the auxiliary metal layer 018 away from the base substrate 001, a portion close to the edge and the side surface of the auxiliary metal layer 018 is covered by the second planarization layer comprising the second planarization layer pattern 011 and the third planarization layer pattern 013, and the second planarization layer is used for avoiding the side wall of the auxiliary metal layer 018 from resulting in poor display due to etching defects.

For example, the organic material for forming the second planarization layer is the hydrophilic material; in order to avoid the auxiliary metal layer 018 introducing water vapor into the pixel units 002, the orthographic projection of the auxiliary metal layer 018 on the base substrate 001 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the blocking structure 004 on the base substrate 001, and the path of water vapor entering from the blocking structure 004 to the region where the pixel units 002 are located through the second planarization layer is blocked, thus the display effect of the display substrate is guaranteed.

FIG. 13 is still another schematic diagram of a local structure of the display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. With reference to FIG. 13, the orthographic projection of the portion that the auxiliary metal layer 018 is in contact with the first metal layer 003 a on the base substrate 001 is located in the orthographic projection of the auxiliary metal layer 018 on the base substrate 001, thus, a space is provided between the boundary of the first metal layer 003 a and the boundary of the auxiliary metal layer 018, which prevents the first metal layer 003 a and the auxiliary metal layer 018 from being corroded by water vapor or oxygen. FIG. 14 is still another schematic diagram of a local structure of the display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. The reference 010 a shown in FIG. 14 is an opening provided in the first planarization layer. That is to say, in FIG. 14, except the region where the opening 010 a is located, all other regions are covered by the first planarization layer. The reference 011 a shown in FIG. 14 is an opening provided in the second planarization layer. That is to say, in FIG. 14, except the region where the opening 011 a is located, all other regions are covered with the second planarization layer.

In this implementation, the first metal layer 003 a, the passivation layer 009, the first planarization layer pattern 010, the auxiliary metal layer 018, the second planarization layer pattern 011, and the first organic pattern 007 in the display substrate are stacked in the direction away from the base substrate 001. That is to say, the first power line 003, the passivation layer 009, the first planarization layer, the auxiliary metal layer 018, the second planarization layer, and the first organic layer in the display substrate are stacked in the direction away from the base substrate 001.

It should be noted that, each of the first metal layer 003 a and the auxiliary metal layer 018 comprises three layers of metal, for example, the three layers of metal sequentially is titanium (TI), aluminum (AL) and Ti.

It should also be noted that, FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional structural schematic diagram of the display substrate shown in FIG. 1 along a CC line. With reference to FIG. 15, the at least one second power line 008 comprises: a second metal layer 008 c. The display substrate further comprises an auxiliary wiring layer 019 located on the side of the second metal layer 008 c away from the base substrate 001.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the side of the auxiliary wiring layer 019 away from the second metal layer 008 c is in contact with the auxiliary connection structure 005, and an orthographic projection of the auxiliary wiring layer 019 on the base substrate 001 does not overlap with the orthographic projection of the blocking structure 004 on the base substrate 001. For example, the orthographic projection of the auxiliary wiring layer 019 on the base substrate 001 comprises a portion in a region surrounded by the orthographic projection of the blocking structure 004 on the base substrate 001.

FIG. 16 is still another schematic diagram of a local structure of the display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. With reference to FIG. 16, the orthographic projection of the auxiliary wiring layer 019 on the base substrate 001 comprises a portion in the region surrounded by the orthographic projection of the second blocking dam 0042 on the base substrate 001.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, in the region where the blocking structure 004 is located, the side of the second metal layer 008 c away from the base substrate 001 is not provided with the auxiliary wiring layer 019, that is, the auxiliary wiring layer 019 in the region where the blocking structure 004 is located is removed, that is, the auxiliary wiring layer 019 in the region where the second line inlet port 00 d is located is removed. For example, the auxiliary wiring layer 019 is arranged on the side of the blocking structure 004 away from the plurality of pixel units, and the auxiliary wiring layer 019 is arranged in a region comprised by the blocking structure 004.

The shape of the boundary of the auxiliary wiring layer 019 is approximately the same as the shape of the boundary of the second metal layer 008 c, or the shape of the boundary of the auxiliary wiring layer 019 is different from the shape of the boundary of the second metal layer 008 c, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

As an optional implementation, with reference to FIG. 17, the at least one first power line 003 comprises the first metal layer 003 a and a third metal layer 003 b arranged in the direction away from the base substrate 001. The side of the third metal layer 003 b away from the first metal layer 003 a contacts with the auxiliary connection structure 005.

Both the orthographic projection of the first metal layer 003 a on the base substrate 001 and the orthographic projection of the third metal layer 003 b on the base substrate 001 overlap with the orthographic projection of the blocking structure 004 on the base substrate 001. That is, the first metal layer 003 a and the third metal layer 003 b of the first portion 0031 away from the plurality of pixel units 002 are both used to receive the power signal, and thus the power signal is transmitted to the cathode layer 006 through the two metal layers comprising the first metal layer 003 a and the third metal layer 003 b, and the resistance is reduced, thereby the voltage drop of the power signal is reduced.

With reference to FIG. 17, the orthographic projection of the first metal layer 003 a on the base substrate 001 does not overlap with the region that the third metal layer 003 b is in contact with the auxiliary connection structure 005.

Optionally, with reference to FIG. 18, the orthographic projection of the first metal layer 003 a on the base substrate 001 overlaps with the region that the third metal layer 003 b is in contact with the auxiliary connection structure 005.

The first planarization layer covers the other end of the first metal layer 003 a close to the plurality of pixel units 002, which reduces the corrosion of the other end of the first metal layer 003 a by oxygen or water vapor, or reduces the final display defect caused by the etching defect on the side of the metal layer.

With reference to FIG. 17 and FIG. 18, the first metal layer 003 a, the first planarization layer pattern 010, the third metal layer 003 b, the passivation layer 009, the second planarization layer pattern 011, and the first organic pattern 007 are stacked in the direction away from the base substrate 001.

FIG. 19 is still another structural schematic diagram of the display substrate provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure.
